Pocahontas’ real given name was Matoaca, but most of her tribe called her Pocahontas, which means "playful one," or “little wanton,” which means she was playful and willfull. Often she was a little hard to control and didn’t listen very well. “There are also recorded accounts of her having the names Amonte and White Feather. When she converted to Christianity and was baptized in 1614, she was given the Christian name Rebecca. For as many names as she had, there are as many interpretations of her role in American history: savior, victim, peacemaker, mother of the new world, pawn, ambassador, first Christian convert in America.”
